They cover opportunity-driven business development at Babson Collect, EM Lyon Business School, and the University of Southern California; and technology transfer and commercialization at the University of Texas at Austin, Technol籀gico de Monterrey, and the National University of Singapore. A final chapter summarizes key success factors and recommendations. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
